    Chelsea v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    An affectionate hug between Mauricio Pochettino and Mikel Arteta, who both told us in the build-up to the match how they are "like brothers".

    Pochettino took Arteta, who is 10 years younger, under his wing when they both at Paris St-Germain.

    Tonight they are not friends...

    Interesting to see how Chelsea's frontline will shape up.

    Mauricio Pochettino grinned when asked about it before kick-off.

    "We'll see," is all he would reveal.

    Raheem Sterling up top?

    Chelsea v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Arsenal have won six of their past seven matches against Chelsea in all competitions, as many victories as in the previous 25 meetings.

    The visitors are vying to win four consecutive league games against Chelsea for the first time.

    It is the 173rd league fixture between the sides (all in the top flight).

    The Gunners' three-match winning streak has come against Mauricio Pochettino's three predecessors as head coach: Frank Lampard, Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel.

    Iconic reggae instrumental 'Liquidator' is ringing out at a wet and wild Stamford Bridge - and that means only one thing.

    The two teams are heading out of the tunnel.

    Chelsea v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino makes two changes from the win at Fulham as the Blues face a real acid test against title hopefuls Arsenal.

    Centre-back Axel Disasi drops to the bench after being an injury doubt, while striker Armando Broja is not fit enough to make the squad.

    Right-back Malo Gusto and attacking midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk replace them, while Cole Palmer is fit enough to start and Reece James returns to the bench.

    Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Thiago Silva, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Gallagher, Fernandez, Mudryk, Palmer, Sterling.

    Chelsea XI to face Arsenal

    Big news for Arsenal - Bukayo Saka is back.

    The England forward returns to the Gunners' starting XI after missing the win over Manchester City with a leg injury, which also ruled him out of the recent international fixtures.

    Gabriel Martinelli also starts after his match-winning return from the bench against City, with the pair lining up alongside Gabriel Jesus in a front three.

    Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard are the players to make way.

    Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who recently lost his place to David Raya, is not on the bench after his wife gave birth to a baby boy.

    Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.

    Have Chelsea turned the corner under Mauricio Pochettino?

    Back-to-back wins against Fulham and Burnley before the international break have provided optimism for Blues fans.

    But Arsenal, who are aiming to return top of the league with a win, are likely to provide a more stringent examination.

    If you missed the team news earlier, here is how the two sides will line up...

    We will also continue to reflect on today's Premier League results here as the evening goes on, but for now we are going to focus on a big Saturday night in west London.

    It's Chelsea v Arsenal.

    If you're only just joining us, it's a sad and sombre day for English football.

    Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the driving forces behind England's 1966 World Cup win and a true giant of the sport, has died aged 86.

    Emotional tributes have been paid by his former club Manchester United, along with players and people from across the world.

    Today's Premier League matches have been holding a period of silence before kick-off for the victims of the terrible and devastating events in Palestine and Israel.

    You would expect Sir Bobby to also be remembered at Stamford Bridge before Chelsea face Arsenal - and, of course, at Bramall Lane where United play later.

    FT: Brentford 3-0 Burnley

    The stats don't make good reading for Vincent Kompany's Burnley.

    His side have lost seven of their opening nine matches of a league campaign for the first time since 1977-78 when the Clarets were in the second tier.

    Burnley have also failed to score in four of their nine games, only Everton (five) have failed to find the target more often in the Premier League this season.

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace's Joel Ward: "It was certainly not ideal. We all know we can do better and we need to do better. We were outclassed today, it is about how we bounce back from that. In tough times it is about how you respond.

    "There a host of things [that went wrong]. As individuals and as a team we look at ourselves in the mirror. We know we can do better."

    FT: Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves

    Bournemouth have lost 11 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, no team has dropped more.

    If Sheffield United beat Manchester United later this evening, the Cherries will also find themselves bottom of the table.

    Brighton lose Danny Welbeck and Solly March to injury. Manchester City lose Manuel Akanji to a red card. Akanji will miss the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on 29 October.

    An amazing game.

    City in total control in the first half, total control at half time.

    Fati gets one back for a much improved Brighton in the second half and City were hanging on a bit in the end.

    Akanji sent off and down to ten men City see it out. They've stopped the rot but it wasn't easy.

    Bournemouth 1-2 Wolves (FT)

    Handshakes between victorious Wolves boss Gary O'Neil and his Bournemouth successor Andoni Iraola, as well as with his former coaching staff.

    There's no hostile reception for Iraola or the home players, that you might expect from a club without a win in nine league games - but plenty of boos for referee Paul Tierney.

    Meanwhile, Wolves' players and staff take a long time to leave the pitch - this has meant a lot to them.
